mr. klys is amazing.

He shut me out of the kitchen this afternoon to make a surprise. Turns out he ordered the cookbook for the 2nd Ave Deli, bought supplies, and is attempting a batch of their sour pickles for me. (Which, btw, are the source of all life and happiness in this world and I challenge anyone to say differently.)

We will probably start a second batch on Tuesday night with my assistance because of some technical issues that may render this one less than perfect but I am absolutely the luckiest woman alive right now.
